Schaub's ankle is still "swollen" and "very sore." Kubiak isn't prepared to rule him out just yet, but the choice is likely to come down to Yates versus Keenum -- much to Gil Brandt's dismay.

Here are the rest of the injury updates from around the league:

1. Schaub's injury wasn't the most costly for the Texans. Safety Danieal Manning was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a fractured fibula. Shiloh Keo will start opposite Ed Reed for a Houston unit that ranks No. 1 in total defense.

3. In other Bills news, C.J. Spiller acknowledged the obvious: His sprained ankle "definitely" wasn't 100 percent last week. "I still feel like I'm not exploding," Spiller explained. He will have to play through pain, as Buffalo's bye doesn't come until Week 12.

12. Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart (ankle) is eligible to be activated from the physically unable to perform list but isn't practicing this week. He acknowledged Tuesday that he would probably need a couple of weeks before he's ready for game action.
